We had a great experience. The hotel has a fun atmosphere with the throwback Johnny Carson theme and the rooms have quirky fun decor. Loved the maps and memorabilia sprinkled throughout the building. It is showing it's age a little but still clean and functional. Perfect for attending our daughter's graduation at UNL at Pinnacle Bank Arena. Tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance. Street parking and garage parking available.

The retro, Nebraska decor is awesome! The fact that we have to pay $23 to park in the garage may deter me from staying there again. I believe complimentary parking should be provided for guests.
